❗️🌍🎞 The escalation of the situation in the Middle East: highlights of the week May 24 - 30, 2024 ▪️The Yemeni Houthis have once again claimed attacks on several vessels in the Arabian, Red and Mediterranean Seas. Although there is no evidence of defeat, the mere fact that attacks are possible is not disputed. ▪️A few days later, the Houthis attacked two more ships in the Indian Ocean and one in the Red Sea. A little later, the Houthis carried out several more combined attacks. ▪️UAV and anti-ship ballistic missile strikes targeted six vessels, three of which were in the Red Sea, two in the Arabian Sea, and one in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper was shot down in Marib province, the sixth since the beginning of the escalation and the third in May. ▪️On the evening of May 28, air defense alarms sounded in the Eilat area, with two UAVs flying in the direction of Eilat. The drones were launched from Iraq. There were three in total, one apparently fell in the desert or in Jordanian territory. ▪️In total, pro-Iranian militias claimed three UAV launches on Eilat, and one on the port of Haifa. Of the four launches of multiple drones, however, only two flew, and those were intercepted. ▪️In turn, the Israeli air force fired missiles into Homs province in Syria. The hit hit a convoy of pro-Iranian groups near the locality of Al-Furqlus. ▪️Also hit by an Israeli strike was the town of Baniyas, northwest of there in Tartous province. One of the missiles landed on a residential building, killing a minor girl and injuring 13 others. ▪️Meanwhile, pro-Turkish militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham carried out several operations in towns where there were earlier protests. Local residents were dissatisfied with the current situation in terrorist-controlled areas. #video #map #Yemen #Syria #Iraq @rybar Поддержать нас

Fwd from @usaperiodical 🇺🇸🇺🇦 According to an insider report from Politico, President Biden has secretly given Ukraine permission to strike Russian territory with American weapons - but this is limited to Russian regions bordering Kharkiv Oblast. The escalation is developing gradually, following the scenario previously outlined by the American Periodical - first, they will be allowed to strike the Russian regions bordering Ukraine, but at this stage, no further strikes will be authorized. 🇺🇸 @usaperiodical Original msg

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 IDF Operation in Jabalia: Withdrawal of Majority of IDF Forces Situation as of the end of May 30, 2024 In the north of the Gaza Strip, the operation of the Israeli forces in Jabalia, which lasted just under three weeks, has effectively concluded. The IDF command began withdrawing its forces yesterday evening, but by midday today, footage confirming the absence of Israelis in most of the populated area has emerged. ▪️While the available online videos and photos are insufficient to establish the exact configuration of the front line, the Israeli units have definitively left the Al-Quds Street area, the residential sector southeast of the Hamdan Cemetery, and the vicinity of the Kamal Adwan Hospital. The situation around the Al-Awda Hospital is still shrouded in the fog of war, but amid reports of Hamas attacks on IDF positions nearby, the Israelis likely maintain a limited presence in this area. ▪️After the withdrawal of the Israeli units, crowds of refugees began returning to the semi-destroyed areas, actively documenting the aftermath of the IDF operation in Jabalia. They also captured one of the IDF's strikes on the abandoned districts, resulting in several casualties. ▪️Simultaneously, airstrikes and artillery continue to hit other satellite cities, as well as the capital of the Palestinian enclave itself. Arab-language media, in their usual manner, reported on civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. 🔻It is difficult to speak of an undoubted success of the IDF operation in Jabalia - yes, the Israelis occupied a fairly extensive territory in the southeast of the camp, but this is only a third of the entire populated area. And although the Israeli command will soon report on the fulfillment of all the assigned tasks, statements about regular Hamas sorties and periodic rocket launches at the border settlements of Israel suggest the opposite.

Fwd from @usaperiodical 🇺🇸🙍‍♂The Manhattan Criminal Court (New York) found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts - the politician was accused of falsifying financial documents. In total, Trump faces a maximum of 136 years in prison. The politician may get away with a fine, but the amount will be very large - this is a serious blow to his presidential campaign. 🇺🇸 @usaperiodical Original msg

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the special military operation for May 30, 2024 Russian forces delivered several precision strikes on various targets on the territory of the so-called Ukraine and the occupied parts of Kherson and Zaporizhia Regions, as well as the DPR. Once again, the "Starokonstantinov" airfield and infrastructure in the Odesa Region were hit. The enemy launched a massive combined attack on the Crimean Peninsula, using missiles and unmanned boats. Most of the ammunition was intercepted, but there was damage on the ground and at sea. In the Bakhmut direction, Russian forces are advancing in the vicinity of Klishchiivka and Bohdanivka, while heavy fighting is going on around Chasiv Yar. In the Avdiivka direction, progress is being made in the area between Soloviovo and Berdychi, and fighting continues around Ocheretyne. In the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing north and south of Netailovo, expanding the area of control around the village. There is also progress in the Novomykhailivka - Volodymyrivka area in the Vuhledar direction. There, assault groups of the Russian forces have occupied several forest belts. 🔻A detailed analytical report on the events in the Special Military Operation zone is available on our closed channel @rybar_plus_bot High-resolution maps: Situation in the special military operation zone (ru; en) Bakhmut direction (ru; en) Vuhledar direction (ru; en) #Bakhmut #Belgorod #Vremivka #digest #report #Donetsk #map #Kirovohrad #Rivne #Russia #Ukraine #Kharkiv @rybar Original msg

🇰🇵🇰🇷🇯🇵 The situation on the Korean Peninsula remains tense. According to South Korea and Japan, today North Korea conducted the launch of 10 short-range ballistic missiles. ▪️Currently, there is very little information about the latest missile tests - North Korea usually provides data the next day after the launch. It is only known that the missiles fell into the Sea of Japan, having flown about 350 km. The media suggest that North Korea used "super-large caliber" multiple rocket launchers KN-25. Against the backdrop of the launch, it is also worth noting the enhanced coordination between the US, Japan and South Korea, who have been exchanging real-time launch data since last December. 🔻Over the past few months, the authorities of South Korea and Japan have published different information about North Korean missile launches several times. However, the initial assessments of North Korea's recent missile tests coincided in both Seoul and Tokyo. This may be a sign of more coordinated work between the allies, which would not have been possible without the active support of the US and a change in the course of the South Korean administration towards cooperation with Japan. Therefore, there is no reason to expect a weakening of pressure on North Korea or a decrease in tensions in the region. #NorthKorea #SouthKorea #Japan @rybar together with @awaken_dragon Support us Original msg

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone Chronicle of events for May 30, 2024 In the north of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli command has withdrawn most of its forces from Jabalia, however, several artillery and air strikes were carried out on the most populated locality as well as the capital of the Palestinian enclave. In the south of the enclave, IDF units continue the operation to occupy the so-called "Philadelphia Corridor": over the past day, they managed to slightly expand the control zone in the Yabna refugee camp. In turn, Hamas militants responded with mortar fire. In the West Bank, Israeli security forces carried out another series of raids in several localities: at least 20 residents were detained in the region during the day, and in Tulkarm and Jenin, the Israeli operations resulted in clashes with local militants. Along the Lebanese-Israeli border, the traditional exchange of strikes continued, but with somewhat less intensity. Hezbollah fighters again reported hitting IDF targets, while the Israelis shelled southern Lebanon. 🔻A detailed analytical report on events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone is available on our closed channel @rybar_plus_bot High-resolution map English version #digest #map #Israel #Palestine #report @rybar Support us Original msg

Fwd from @lady_north 🇷🇺🇸🇪 Here is the translation to English: I was expecting this step from the Swedish authorities for about two months now: they have spoken about Russia's plans to occupy the Gotland island in the Baltic Sea. What I feel most sorry for in this situation are my naive Swedes, who do not understand what is happening, and their heads are filled with such things to justify the expenses on NATO. You see, the thing is that the Gotland island is very far from Russia, and occupying it during an armed conflict is meaningless. It is enough to simply destroy the infrastructure on it. Attempts at amphibious landings are futile, and the Russian Ministry of Defense should understand this after Snake Island. What did the attempts to hold on to this piece of land in isolation from logistics lead to? And there will certainly be no supplies there during the war. ❗️Therefore, these fairy tales from Astrid Lindgren are addressed not even to Russia, but to the Swedes themselves. For the authorities, this is the perfect excuse to increase the contingent on the island and deploy additional equipment, such as air defense systems, anti-ship systems and radars. From this point of view, in the event of a conflict, a couple of Harpoon launchers will be able to ensure full control over the exits from the Gulf of Finland and the coastal zone of the Kaliningrad Region. #Russia #Sweden Northerner Original msg

🇮🇱🇸🇾 A few days after the bombings of the city of Homs, the Israelis have once again attacked Syrian territory: air strikes were carried out from the airspace over Lebanon on targets in two populated areas. There were casualties among the civilian population. ▪️First, the town of Al-Furqlus east of Homs was bombed. Although the Syrian air defenses managed to intercept some of the missiles, the remaining ones were able to hit parked trucks at the checkpoint of the same name. Opposition resources claim that this was a convoy of pro-Iranian groups. In addition, footage has appeared online of the downing of an unidentified target nearby in the same part of the province. Government media proudly suggested that the intercepted object turned out to be an Israeli Hermes 450 drone, but this information is most likely false: this drone has no business being there. ▪️Another air raid was carried out on the city of Banias, located in the Tartus province. However, the details of this attack are contradictory. This is because a missile, either Israeli or Syrian, fell on a residential building, as a result of which 13 people were injured and a minor girl was killed. 🔻In any case, many monitoring resources reported the likelihood of another attack on Syria. Earlier, the activity of electronic reconnaissance and air surveillance aircraft from the 122nd squadron of the Israeli Air Force was recorded over the northern part of the West Bank and the Mediterranean Sea.
